Regina Jonas was the first female rabbi in the modern world. Ordained in Berlin in 1935, she served the Jewish community in Germany and in the Theresienstadt concentration camp until 1944, when she was murdered in Auschwitz. We’ll explore why she was forgotten and what changes when we write her back into history.

Taught by Dr. Judith Rosenbaum, executive director of the Jewish Women’s Archives.
